Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) To make a difference.--Better, that ye may put difference, as the Authorised Version renders the same word in Leviticus 10:10. That is, the design of the dietary law is to enable both the administrators of the law and the people to distinguish, by the characteristics and criteria specified above, between what is clean and unclean.And between the beast that may be eaten.--From the fact that the same word, "beast," is used in both clauses with regard to the animal which may be eaten and the one which may not be eaten without the qualifying adjunct "clean" and "unclean," the administrators of the law during the second Temple concluded that the same clean animal is meant in both instances, under different conditions. The clean animal may be eaten when it is in a healthy state, but the same animal may not be eaten when it has organic defects, or is diseased. Hence they enacted the following canon: an animal is perfectly sound when it is capable of conceiving and bringing forth young. This is the reason why the LXX. renders the word beast here by viviparous.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewYou must distinguishלְהַבְדִּ֕יל (lə·haḇ·dîl)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 914: To be divided, separatebetweenבֵּ֥ין (bên)PrepositionStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenthe uncleanהַטָּמֵ֖א (haṭ·ṭā·mê)Article | Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 2931: Uncleanand the clean,הַטָּהֹ֑ר (haṭ·ṭā·hōr)Article | Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 2889: Clean, purebetweenוּבֵ֣ין (ū·ḇên)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenanimalsהַֽחַיָּה֙ (ha·ḥay·yāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2416: Alive, raw, fresh, strong, lifethat may be eatenהַֽנֶּאֱכֶ֔לֶת (han·ne·’ĕ·ḵe·leṯ)Article | Verb - Nifal - Participle - feminine singularStrong's 398: To eatand thoseהַֽחַיָּ֔ה (ha·ḥay·yāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2416: Alive, raw, fresh, strong, lifethatאֲשֶׁ֖ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatmay not.”לֹ֥א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noJump to PreviousBeast Clean Creature Creatures Difference Distinction Distinguish Eaten Edible Food Marking Pure Separation Unclean Used
